Song language: English
City Lights |
| A bright array of city lights as far as I can see |
| The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me |
| The cabaretes and honky tonks their flashing signs invite |
| A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights |
| Lights that say forget her name in a glass of cherry wine |
| Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine |
| They paint a pretty picture of a world that’s gay and bright |
| But it’s just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights |
| The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night |
| The God who put the stars above I don’t believe made those lights |
| Oh it’s just a place for men to cry when things don’t turn out right |
| Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights |
| Lights that say forget her love in a different athmosphere |
| Lights that lure are nothing but a masquarade for tears |
| They paint a pretty picture but my arms can’t hold them tight |
| And I just can’t say I love you to a street of city lights |
